Edmontosaurus

Description

Edmontosaurus, whose name means "Edmonton lizard," is a large herbivorous dinosaur that lived during the late Cretaceous period, about 66 million years ago. This member of the hadrosaurid family, also known as "duck-billed dinosaurs," could measure over 12 meters long and weigh up to 4 tons. Thanks to its wide beak and hundreds of small teeth arranged in a battery, it easily crushed the plants it fed on.

Interesting fact: It is thought that Edmontosaurus likely lived in herds, which allowed it to better protect itself against larger predators like Tyrannosaurus Rex. Scientists also speculate that it may have inflated a sort of crest or skin sac on its snout to communicate.

The Papo Edmontosaurus figurine realistically captures the defining features of this fascinating dinosaur: its flattened beak, textured skin, and massive posture. A must-have model to complete a dinosaur collection, imagine life in the Cretaceous period, or awaken the curiosity of children passionate about paleontology.
